Hi, I'm Dave Graybill, the Fishin' Magician!

Here is Austin Moser and I with a couple of the big kokanee we caught on Lake Roosevelt. We fished at about 50 feet and found the fish in the Swawilla Basin, up from Spring Canyon.

Here you will find current information on fishing in Central Washington State.

I grew up in Central Washington and began writing about the outdoors in the mid 70s. I began broadcasting report on outdoor recreation on KOZI Radio in Lake Chelan in 1991. My reports are now carried on several radio stations and many newspapers in Washington. The reports give what’s happening and how-to information on fishing for bass, perch, walleye, trout, kokanee, salmon, steelhead and other species.
